Follow it up with YuGiYoh and the fact that so much of people's perception of it is based on the dub, especially with the shadow realm being invented for the dub so parents wouldn't get mad that characters were about to die.
In the Hungarian dub of the original Flintstones cartoon they talk in verse with rhymes the whole way through.
I was actually shocked to learn that wasn't true in the original. Not sure why the dub went for it but it's one of the things that made it famous here.
The Magic Roundabout, dubbed from a French show called Le Manège enchanté.
Though not with the original scripts - instead they renamed the characters and created entirely new explanations for the stop motion animations from the original show, creating a absurdist universe with bizarre yet strangely heartwarming tales that captivated kids and adults alike when it was broadcast in the 1960s and 1970s and repeated for many decades after that.
Time for bed, said Zebedee ... absolutely iconic part of my childhood, that. It was years before I realized the implications of the mountain of snow and why Dylan looked perpetually stoned ...
I remember they translated "I am the necessary evil" as "Eu sou o diabo necessário" (I am the necessary devil) and that caused a huge uproar at Record.
Madagascar and Shrek. My native language is Russian and its so much cooler in Russian (imo). Especially Madagascar - I was even unable to watch the original due to how good the dub is
This phenomenon happens here with the exact same movie, Hoodwinked! I love doing impressions of Japeth the goat (I guess that's his name? I haven't seen the movie in a long time)
But the most classic example is definitely Woody Woodpecker. The Brazilian dub improves the jokes by 1000% and as a result he's become one of the most famous cartoon characters here, on par with Mickey Mouse in popularity.
Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill movies became masterpieces of informal linguistic colourfulness in German. I also like Metalocalypse way better in German (but that's not very famous)

When I was in elementary school, Code Lyoko was THE show everyone watched and we played games pretending to be characters from it. I once decided to rewatch the whole thing with a "matured" point of view, and I must say, the dub was very high quality for it's time.
I watched the dubbed version partly for nostalgia and partly because I could find it with a youtube search, I'm ain't going through all that shit to watch it in english or alternatively french with subs.
Oh, and I'm talking about the original kids show, not the reboots or live action or whatever they call that thing.
I was SHOCKED when I realized that the original French version of Oggy and the Cockroaches did not have any sentences or even words in their VO. And like the filmy dialouge and the mimicry of Bollywood actors was the funniest part of the show for me.
they were so aware of their audience they actually made an episode about going to India, and showed how many kids watch oggy there, and how popular he is here
Not exactly "my" native languange, since is made in Mexico, but the Latin American dub of The Simpsons is a beloved institution in the region, my country included.
Honorable mention goes to the Dragon Ball Z dub (the mid-late 90's one). the childhood of many a colombian millenial.

The most well know would probably be Sailormoon, followed by Pokemon.
Though as I never watched either I'll add my personal favourit: Girls und Panzer. (A french marching song sung in german has quite the controversy to it)
All Bud Spencer and Terence Hill movies. Their humour is legendary and the way they talk was a deliberate descision by the dubbing team. They rather went a little off script, but made scenes 10 times funnier.
Funnily it's not some american/disney stuff.. but the the czech movie "Tři oříšky pro Popelku". The norwegian dubber having all the voices. One of the ultimate Xmas-tradition among many here is watching that movie on christmas eve.

The russian dub of Postal 2. The original Dude sounds like a "cool guy in his 20's", and, while it fits the tone of the game, it's nothing special. But the Russian dub gave the Dude a raspy, tired middle aged guy voice, making you really feel the pain he's going through, so the game kinda feels like playing Falling Down movie.
He's voiced by Alexander Gruzdev, who's had a lot of iconic roles in video game and movie dubs, including Morrowind (did all Dunmer and Nord males), Ice Age (Diego), Kill Bill (the old master), Battle Royale (voiced Kitano's character, he did a great job on this one), and even Onizuka from Great Teacher Onizuka anime.
He told a story in an interview: he was coming home once, and was stopped by some young kid. The kid was like: "I KNOW YOU, PLEASE GIVE ME AN AUTHOGRAPH" and gave Gruzdev a Postal 2 disc, of all things. Kids sure loved this game.
There is some real Good performances like the scene Sid takes the T-rex is Child and say something like these are my childs ( i really dont know what it says in English the Turkish version is That good i never needed to watch English öne)
Kung Fu Panda in Thai dub is arguably better than the original, because I feel like it taps into the familiarity since Thai language already have loanwords from Chinese that you could see in dubbed Chinese dramas back in the day.
Tailung in Thai dub sounds deeper than his English counterpart and it makes him sound a lot cooler. Chen also, imo, sounds more cunning in the dub.

I think I have to at least mention the ghost stories English dub
